Problem - OXP-caused - of non-main stations with no markets?

Post by UK_Eliter »

Well, not no markets, buy prices of zero to buy and sell anything - in a Salvage Gang and a GRS factory.

I've just run the game for the first time in a while, having installed some new packs (well, new to me) - namely, the Respray one, Headlights and Dockside services (this last being responsible for new intra-station goodness, I think). Things, especially the insides of stations, look really good. But there is this problem with the markets. Presuming it is a problem - I seem to remember being able to buy and sell things at those two stations.

Can anyone shed light?

You might need some OXP tweaks for older OXP's that have station markets. This thread has the methodology to use: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17621.

There is a backward incompatible change in 1.82 so every old markets need to do this (as ninja'd by phkb).

A bit simpler way if you accept a similar market that in the main station then just add an empty market_definition into shipdata.plist:

Code: Select all

"market_definition" = ();

Right, thanks. So I think that, in the case of the stations I mentioned - to fix them in this regard (but not sadly reinstate their old pricing structure, but at least give them markets - I need to add that line to:

Buoy Repair OXZ [EDIT: the actual OXZ file being oolite.oxp.Svengali.Eric.BuoyRepair]
Anarchies OXZ [EDIT: the actual OXZ file being oolite.oxp.Commander_McLane.Anarchies]

[Further edit:] The anarchies expansion pack has old-style shipdata.plist. So do I need to the following, please?

Code: Select all

<key>market_definition</key>
Further edit (sorry!): In Buoy Repair, do I add

Code: Select all

market_definition = ();
within the "GRS-Station" entry, do you think?

GRS: yes. In Anarchy there is a shipdata-overrides.plist where you can add in the new form.
